    Mobile Audi key specialist across the North East

    Audi keys are some of the more security-heavy on the road. The older A3 and A4 use a switchblade flip key with a transponder, while the newer A4, A6, Q5 and Q7 use full proximity smart keys with rolling encryption. As a SERMI registered mobile auto locksmith based in Durham, I have the manufacturer-level access needed to do these properly without going through Audi.

    Whether you need a spare Audi key, you've lost every key to the car, or you're locked out, I come to you. I cover Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and everywhere in between. No call-out fee, no VAT, and over 230 five star Google reviews from drivers across the region.

    Types of Audi Keys We Replace

    Flip switchblade keys

    The classic Audi key on A3, A4, A5 and TT — the cut blade flips out of the fob. Includes immobiliser and central locking.

    Smart proximity keys

    The slim chrome-edged Audi smart key found on newer A4, A6, Q5 and Q7. Keyless entry and push-button start with rolling code encryption.

    Older blade keys

    Pre-2005 A2, A3 and A4 blade keys with a basic transponder. Cheaper and quicker to program.

    MQB platform keys

    Audi shares the MQB platform with VW. The newer A1 and Q2 use this style of immobiliser, which I have the equipment for on site.

    Q-range SUV keys

    Q3, Q5 and Q7 keys including the latest generation with stronger security. Programmed at your vehicle, no dealer needed.

    How Much Does Audi Key Replacement Cost?

    Audi key replacement on a mobile call-out usually sits between £160 and £350 fitted and coded.

    What affects the price:

    • Type of key — flip keys are cheaper than full proximity smart keys
    • Whether you have a working key (cloning a spare is cheaper than all keys lost)
    • Model and year — newer Q-range proximity keys take longer to program
    • All keys lost on a newer Audi takes more time, but no call-out fee is added

    An Audi dealer will usually be £150+ more once you add VAT, dealer admin and recovery to a main dealer. With me there's no call-out fee, no VAT, and the car stays exactly where it is.

    Frequently Asked Questions
